It’s been like that for 16 hours and I’m kinda worried it will be like that for future shorts. I’m new, I currently have 20 subs. I’m not really discouraged and I believe I have a long way to go. But is this normal ?

Short-Form Content I am getting most of my views from Asia. Why?

Upvotes

I'm getting around 30% of my views from the Philippines, and then smaller percentages from Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, etc.

Don't get me wrong—I don't care where my audience is from. However, I live in Germany, my content is in English, and at the beginning my videos were mostly being shown to European countries and the US. I was getting good views and great engagement.

Then YouTube and TikTok started pushing my videos to these Asian countries, and since then my videos haven't been performing nearly as well. I think it's mainly because people in those countries don't engage with my content very much.

For example, on a video with 10,000 views, I would barely get 10 likes and 1 comment. With a European or US audience, that same number of views would usually bring hundreds of comments and many more likes.

Has anyone experienced something similar? If so, were you able to fix it, and how?

Short-Form Content I'm Stuck at 0 views and my content is 100% original

I used to post short Minecraft facts and documented some crazy Minecraft achievements on this channel a few months ago and I was getting good views each short (only 12 uploaded). I even got some viral hits with 3m and 1m views but then I lost my spark and decided to quit the channel.

Until just recently when I decided to come back and upload more videos but as you can see they're all stuck at 0 views even tho they are completely original.

I took the decision to just make a new channel instead and try out there. But I want to understand what exactly went wrong here. I didn't change anything and I have no warnings or

Long-Form Content Please help, question about possible demonetization?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm pretty new to youtube (posting), i usually watched videos. I made some videos that took off recently, so I'm an artist and I played a game called gartic phone on people's twitch streams, they reacted very happy or positively, and I keep those short clips and make reaction videos out of it, I sometimes draw fanart or draw a portrait of them in the vids. I got accepted into the youtube partner program like 3-5 days ago, I only have about 7-8 of these videos uploaded and I have about 14 made in general waiting to upload the rest. I just recently googled and heard it doesnt count as transformative. I really need some advice because It would be a very big shame to lose my channel or get demonetized after getting partner in such a short time frame, my channel gained 9k subs in about 2 weeks.

  1. I got permission from about the first 30 streamers I used but I didn't ask every other future streamer (so far everyone who has found out they are in the video are happy about it, and I even put in my description that Im willing to remove them from video if they have an issue about it. I stopped asking permission since it was so many streams I played with and it almost sounded like self promotion which i hate doing. And sometimes they dont get back to me on discord with a yes or no.
  2. Should i private or unlist the videos i already made? even if its making me money right now.
  3. If I add my own voice in the intro, and in some parts of the video kinda like daily dose, would that make it safe? (im also okay with deleting parts if a streamer has issue with it)
  4. If i ask every streamer in those videos if they are okay with being in it, would that make all future videos safe?
  5. How likely is youtube to take action against me and how much time do I have? I also post some other content too like timelapses and tutorials, but i do have about 8 videos that are reactions to my art. And they did accept me in program but maybe that was not a human review?

I can dm you my channel if that would help you, just message me on here, I would appreciate this so much ty.

I didn't have the "watch page ads" set up in YouTube studio 🥲 so I'm guessing any revenue I get now will be as of today with the watch page ads activated?

As you can probably guess, this is all very new to me.

Mixed Content Need Help To Grow

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I can’t seem to grow. I read every day on new things to use, so every day my editing skills get better, but it feels like I get less views. I’ve hired someone for my thumbnails, I work on better hooks, I use cuts, I basically do everything, all internet tells me to do, but I am getting less views than before.

What to do?

(I have a gaming channel focused on l4d2, which I play at high difficulties.)

Long-Form Content Reviving a Channel Feels Like Starting Over

4 Upvotes

Because it is, I guess. This is a bit of me just venting, I guess. Otherwise, I’m very happy with my channel and my overall growth considering I’ve abandoned the channel for months (like four to five) at a time… several times.

I was very happy when I started my channel, found my niche, and steadily started growing. I got monetized within the year and as soon as that happened I disappeared for five months.

When I posted again, not thinking much I was surprised at how low the views were. Like barely even a fraction of what I used to get. It was a blow, and over the past couple years I wasn’t consistent, leaving again for months at a time, but still pulled okay numbers on views. Nothing like I used to.

This year I decided to get serious again. Posting every one to two weeks, cause that’s all I can do, though I am planning on sprinkling in more shorts.

I’m still seeing growth and recognizing a new audience that comes back consistently. I appreciate them. I hope that in a years time my views will be comparable to what it was years ago.

I also started another channel. It’s a baby, and boy does that make me appreciate all the hard work of getting started with a fractions of the tools I have. Like community posts lol. It’s rough out there as a baby channel.

Thanks for letting me vent a bit.

Long-Form Content is it a good idea to recreate an old bad video in my new working style?

1 Upvotes

my first ever video on my channel was on a topic that was very interesting and not very talked about. i made this video and it was really bad in every way possible and didnt get many views at all. a few months later i have an established channel and video style with 8k subs and over 100k per video consistently.

i really liked the topic of my first ever video and i would like to recreate it with more effort and in my current video style.

is it a good idea to revisit this topic and redo it or should i just leave it?

I upload shorts 1 to 2 times a day and despite my shorts getting the same stats I always get (80% stayed to watch vs swiped away rate, 125% avd), my shorts are dying out at 700-1.1k views. I normally get 20k-125k views per short since the end of March.

Long-Form Content Built my own Tool of video analyzer that breakdown my recording videos into bookmarks and clips.

1 Upvotes

Would you guys be interested in this ? Would it help people with your editing time?

the reason I built it cause I usually record and then a week or so later i edit, which means i need to go back and rewatch my recordings before i get any sense of idea what it was about or where to cut. This tool is just that, it goes through frame by frame with a VL model, that will then has a set profile setup it so it know what kind of content i want extracted, for this example was me playing palworld, so i want any parts of new discoveries, Progress (level up, new pals etc), Drama (fights, actions, conversations with npc) and funny (comedic scenes, deaths, ragdolls etc) . Then it bookmarks and creates notes for each scene it find relevant and arranges them from high score to low.

For now this is my personal project, open for ideas to make it better or share of interest on it. Thanks :D

Long-Form Content Building a Community Is the Most Rewarding Feeling for Me

1 Upvotes

I always thought getting a bunch of views and recognition would be the thing I would want from youtube but honestly, I've really enjoyed just seeing regulars in my comments section and interacting with fans. It feels super fulfilling and I look forward to that more than a video doing well. At a certain point numbers don't mean much anymore. I'm so thankful that my videos are fostering a community of people interested in the same thing.
